I do not know what A. viejita CF II is anymore. The original 'A. viejita CF II' was a highly colorful species closely related to A. viejita. It was also called A. sp. Rotflecken/Red-patches. Since its introduction in the 1980s Rotflecken has been crossed with other macmasteri-complex species to enhance the red on the body & fins. It is now a fertile domestic hybrid, like red swordtails/helleris. Your female looks much more like an A. macmasteri female than an A. viejita female.

female looks much more like an A. macmasteri female than an A. viejita female.

But male is not.

I bought them as A. viejita II Gold.
I didn't find anything like them in the net or in the books. They look a bit like A. viejita II as in Aqualog "Southamerican Cichlids II" , but they look a bit like A. macmasteri as in Romer Cichlid Atlas.

This is a fry 2 m. old :
